Death Race 2020 was published in 1995 and ran for 8 issues under Roger Corman’s Cosmic Comics imprint. It was written by Pat Mills and picked up the story 20 years later with Frankenstein having to return to racing after his term as president. Though I haven’t read it I’ve got to say that Pat Mills, who wrote for futuristic satire comic 2000 AD, sounds like a great fit.
